They all praised me for being a striver and not a simple person, saying that I started from a small town and traveled all the way across states and counties to the provincial capital. When I turned 40, everyone had settled down and started planning for retirement, but I once again packed up my backpack and rushed to the big cities where young people had fled. I acquiesced to these compliments out of pride, even though I knew I was nothing more than a broken loser. The more you fail, the farther away you become. Those lame dogs whose coats are bitten and mottled always walk far away from the pack of dogs. Only the overcomers like to walk in the center and accept worship and praise. In fact, it is not a big deal, let alone a failure. How great can a sesame seed fall? For example, the time I left the county seat was just a small speech mistake.

Could it be that the good and evil of human nature are just a matter of thoughts? I have known since I was a child that I am very ordinary, very very ordinary, but behind most stupid birds is a hard-working bird-catcher. My father is this kind of person. In elementary school, he accompanied me in math development classes for 3 hours a week. Seeing that I could no longer embroider this sack, my father immediately launched a backup plan and let me attend the physical education department of a university closer to home.

It's this moonshine that's as rich as rice soup again! Every night like this, Zheng happy would think of his hometown, Yanchi River, and how he and Brother Tan would take a bath in the river under such moonlight. Brother Tan was a heavy smoker and would smoke out almost half a pack of cigarettes after taking a bath. Zheng happy pinched off a leaf and floated it on the water to use it as a coffee table for Brother Tan. Brother Tan said in the light smoke he exhaled: "Heaven! I really don't want to leave." Brother Tan is an out-of-town tourist who temporarily rents at Zheng Xi's house, but Zheng Xi does not treat him as a tenant. He wishes he had such a relative or friend.

He walked towards Zheng Xi's three small tile-roofed houses. He said hello at the edge of the courtyard: "Hey, brother!"

From this point of view, this leggings can really be regarded as a treasure like an amulet.

Otherwise, I would not have been slapped by her last night, and I will not be held in her hands like a prisoner now.

I get flustered when I see the sunset. Time is like a huge electric belt. Whoever transfers it to his name will hand over the day's harvest and send it back to his warehouse. I saw that the belt was filled with all kinds of things, but I got nothing, and there was nothing to my name. It's been four months since I left school, and I haven't found an internship unit yet. I know that some students have returned to school with signed contracts. They are just waiting to get their diplomas and then return to the internship unit and officially start working with full salary. I seemed to see sweat on their faces as they ran on the tree-less road outside the school gate. They must have gone to eat duck necks and drink beer. They went there when they were happy and also when they were unhappy. They gave almost half of their living expenses to the female owner of the duck neck shop who wore a nose ring. Although I attended school here for three years, I can say that this school is bullshit.

When he stabbed his classmate with a knife, his father lamented in despair that "a good boy is a double-edged sword!"

During the last monthly exam before the final exam, Manman made up her mind to take the paper in front of her as the last paper in her life. The teacher's lectures became faster and faster, and the lectures became deeper and deeper. Manman listened more and more confused. Once or twice, she seemed to understand a general idea. When the bell rang, the vague outline disappeared like a flock of frightened birds.

The more suffering, the more romantic, the humbler, the braver, the Wuluo Town on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. What is the smell of moist and pure grass between the fields, like heavy snow falling in the windless mountains? Tears welled up in my eyes.

Hongfan Community is quite old. In the past two years, it was exposed to the light of some activities and the exterior wall was painted once.
